Rihanna collaborator and hotly tipped singer/songwriter Mikky Ekko has premiered his new single, 'Kids'. Listen below.
The US star came to worldwide attention with his duet with the Barbadian superstar on 'Stay', which he later followed with stunning chill-out track 'Pull Me Down'. This time around, he ups the pace with an indie-tinged release, 'Kids'.
The track was premiered on Zane Lowe's Radio One show, and Ekko describes 'Kids' as 'the next chapter' of his career. Ekko has worked with producers including Paul Epworth (Adele) and Dave Sitek (Beady Eye, Kelis) on his debut album, which is due for release later this year.
"It's a little overwhelming actually, everywhere I turn there is amazing music," Ekko told Gigwise at the start of 2013. "It is a really amazing time in music where we can do things we could never do before."
